Place2Be

Place2Be is a national award-winning charity that works in 200 schools across the UK. Our main aim is to improve children’s mental health and well-being by helping them understand, address and cope with emotional difficulties and/or challenging life issues. We support children and parents in various ways.

Children

Children can be referred for 1:1 counselling and are seen weekly by a qualified counsellor (or counsellor in training) for up to a year.

Children can also sign up to for a Place2Talk, a 15 minute drop in session that is run at morning break and lunch time. This service is very popular with the children.

Adults

We operate a free counselling service for parents/carers at St Mary’s. We are also available to offer advice and support with issues that may be affecting you and/or your child.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or queries you may have or if you would like support. We are in school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and can be reached on the main school number:
